Sunderland, who remain in the race for promotion to the Premier League, will demand a fee of around £40 million to sell one of their prized assets.
The report suggests that Everton will look to get a deal done for around £10 million, considerably less than what the Championship side value him at.
Rigg has been a key player for Sunderland this season, scoring four goals and providing one assist in his 37 games across all competitions.
